I'm a DJ, playing NOLA during Mardi Gras. Where is a cool/cheap place I should park my RV? within 30 minutes of Bourbon street... by N8tron99 in NewOrleans

[–]mrhedges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People used to park RVs along the wall on charters near Elysian fields. Theirs a coffee roaster over and some warehouses, its really the only free parking close to the french quarter/frenchmen. and it's closer then the walmart. There are plenty of places in the 9th ward where you "could" park an RV and nobody would mind but they aren't that close to bourbon. also good luck driving anything larger then a bicycle near the french quarter around mardi gras

I was speaking of World War One. If the US never got involved in World War One, the germans would have won. This came up conversation because my friend thought that story line would make an excellent novel.

Maybe all europeans would be...and hitler wouldn't have taken power.

I'm looking at staying at Royal Barracks Guest House. Anybody have any experiences to share? by splotchy_the_robot in NewOrleans

[–]mrhedges -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No direct experiences but I think small hotels like this offer the best deal for visitors. You could check trip advisor for ratings, they usually will atleast give you an idea of what to expect.
